It was a fun and special treat to make together as a family. <\/h3>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">They&#8217;re healthier than store-bought popsicles, incredibly simple, and the options are endless. Some of the recipes (coconut water based &amp; watermelon based) are GREAT for keeping kids hydrated and replenishing electrolytes on hot summer days. <\/h3>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Get creative! We\u2019ll include a few different ways to make them, but we encourage you to experiment.
